Spar

"Leave the little wolf behind"

Xian Tian stood up, walking towards the direction of the arena. The other two disciples at the side immediately stood up and followed behind him.

When everyone heard that statement, they were dumbstruck. They never expected Xian Tian who hadn't shown any interest since the gathering started to suddenly say something.

Di Ba was also surprised, but he immediately got worried when he recalled the temperament of the Young Master. Once he sees something that he likes, he would try to get it, no matter how he does it. Di Ba started brainstorming on ways to solve the situation before it escalates.

Hao Ren continued walking like he didn't hear anything. He was too lazy to be bothered with Xian Tian.

"State your price, I'll pay whatever you say" Xian Tian said as he stood in the arena. He felt the wolf was special as there was a glint of intelligence in its eyes.

Xin Feng started getting nervous, he didn't think Xian Tian would demand they gave him Xiao. "Ren, why don't we stop and look for a way to solve this". Xian Tian was definitely stronger than Di Ba. Although he guessed Ren was strong, he didn't know if he could defeat Xian Tian.

"Stop for what?. Let's keep going, you know I have a mission to accomplish later today. I don't have time to play with him" Hao Ren said carelessly. He wasn't even bothered by Xian Tian. Xiao on the other hand just snickered in disdain.

"The Young Master is talking to you and you're not responding" One of the disciples close to Xian Tian roared in anger. They suddenly released their aura.

When Xin Feng felt the aura, he felt pressured. Not just him, the rest of the crowd also felt pressure from the auras. When he looked at his side, he was shocked. Hao Ren was perfectly fine with no change in his face, even the little wolf was walking freely. He suddenly felt embarrassed that he was the only one who was pressured by it.

"Ren seems like you're not bothered by them," Xin Feng said.

"Why would I be?" Hao Ren raised a brow and asked.

"Let's not make this turn into a big issue" Xin Feng sighed as he said. He didn't know what Hao Ren was thinking.

Hao Ren stopped and looked at his friend, he shook his head with a smile before turning back towards the arena, "Fine".

When Xin Feng saw Hao Ren turning, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed as well. Xiao on the other hand didn't even stop as the only thing in his head was the mission. He could already taste the chickens.

In the arena, Xian Tian felt pleased when he noticed Hao Ren stopping and started walking towards him. But what surprised him was the fact that Xiao was still walking in the other direction.

'Could it be that I was wrong?' Xian Tian felt puzzled. "Why is the wolf still walking in that direction?" He said as he pointed towards Xiao

When Hao Ren heard what he said, he couldn't help but turn around to see Xiao still swaggering towards the exit of the manor. He smiled and shook his head, "Young Master, that wolf of mine acts strange sometimes. Even I don't know what he's thinking"

"Humph, if he acts strange or not is none of my business. Tell him to come here now" Xian Tian commanded. 'This fool is so respectful even though I want to take his pet' He sneered in his heart. He knew someone from this little town couldn't ignore him with his status.

"You can call him if you like, his name is Xiao. Maybe he could listen to you" Hao Ren said.

Xian Tian looked at the disciples by his side, signaling them to call the wolf. They called the wolf but it didn't respond, only after calling out several times before Xiao turned around. He was first surprised when he didn't see Hao Ren and Xin Feng by his side. He looked at Hao Ren before walking towards him.

Xian Tian's face turned ugly when he saw this. "What's the meaning of this?"

"What's the meaning of what?, does it look like I'm controlling him?" Hao Ren retorted. If not for not wanting to cause any problems he would have already walked out by now. He heard Di Ba was a nice guy so he didn't want to put him in a bad situation.

"Since this gathering was originally held for sparring, why don't we have a little battle. If you can defeat me in ten moves, I'll not only hand Xiao to you but I'll also give you five hundred spirit stones. But if you lose, you'll give me one thousand spirit stones" Hao Ren decided to try if he could get some money off of this Young Sect Master.

"I don't want to bully you, but since you said so yourself, I'll gladly oblige. Besides, I haven't had anything fun to do since I came here" Xian Tian laughed evilly. 'I'm going to make sure you don't walk out of this place' a cold glint flashed past his eyes.

It didn't escape Hao Ren's sharp senses, 'Moron, I'll play with you for now' He could guess what Xian Tian was thinking and it wasn't anything good.

Xian Tian motioned towards his followers to leave the arena since he was about to thrash Hao Ren. He could do it alone, maybe after he's tired of beating him up he'll tell them to continue.

The crowds were all excited as they didn't think another battle would take place today, and this battle seems like it would be more exciting. Now only Hao Ren and Xian Tian were left in the arena.

Di Ba had heard of how strong Hao Ren's father was, but he didn't know if Hao Ren was strong also. "Hopefully the Young Sect Master doesn't go too far" He mumbled under his breath. He didn't think Hao Ren was a match for Xian Tian, and he knew just how cruel Xian Tian was.

"Young Master please" Hao Ren made a welcoming gesture.

Xian Tian didn't hold back and made his first move. When Hao Ren saw how he attacked, he couldn't help but nod his head in praise. Xian Tian attacks were precise and deadly.

But it didn't mean anything to the current Hao Ren. He easily dodged to the side like he wasn't even in a battle.

Xian Tian was surprised when he saw this, "So you do have some abilities. No wonder you dared to challenge me to a battle" He smiled. Just now, he didn't use all his strength and only used just fifty percent of it.

He launched another attack towards Hao Ren this time he used more strength compared to the last time and he was also faster in his execution. But to his surprise, Hao Ren dodged it again easily. He launched more attacks which Hao Ren only dodged.

"Do you only know how to evade?" Xian Tian said after not being able to hit him once with any of his attacks. If Hao Ren blocked any attack, he knew he would definitely be able to deal a strong damage to him.

When Hao Ren heard what he said, he only shook his head and decided not to dodge anymore. He welcomed Xian Tian's next attack and blocked it easily with one hand behind his back.

Xian Tian felt annoyed when he saw how his attack was blocked. Apart from those bigger sects, he had not seen anyone he was older than that could defeat him. From Hao Ren's appearance, he knew he was older than Hao Ren.

He roared and charged towards Hao Ren again. Both people started moving back and forth in the arena with one attacking and the other defending. The more the battle extended, the more shocked Xian Tian and the others felt.

Even if the crowd didn't know how strong Xian Tian was, they knew he was stronger than those disciples who released their auras not too long ago. And from the pressure, they were stronger than Di Ba.

For Hao Ren to be able to easily defend, it shows he wasn't any weaker than Xian Tian. He might even be stronger.

"He's strong" The disciple who shouted previously said.

The others all nodded in approval.

"No wonder he wasn't bothered, so he's this strong" Xin Feng said while staring at his friend.

After another bout of exchanges, Hao Ren started feeling bored and decided to end things. He suddenly disappeared from the spot he previously was.

Xian Tian who was about to attack froze in fear and his pupils dilated when he saw this. 'So fast'.

*THUD*

The sound of a body hitting the floor sounded out. The stunned crowd saw Hao Ren appear behind the fallen Xian Tian. He walked towards the pouch in which Xian Tian kept the money, took it, and left under the gaze of everyone.

They still weren't able to react even after Hao Ren had left the manor with Xiao and Xin Feng.
